Virtual Chevron Protest Today, 4-6 pm ET

Chevron is one of the biggest corporate supporters of the Burmese dictatorship. This site is encouraging people worldwide to call and fax them today between 4:00 and 6:00 pm ET (their headquarters are in California) to tell them to change their relationship with the junta. Go there for details, including contact information.

Via John Caruso, who suggests "tell them you won't buy any more gas from them until they divest from Burma."

Come on, what if they are 3 cents cheaper than the guy across the street? (face facts, somebody gots to die to keep the gas pump on.)

I agree; boycott strategies are unlikely to work with oil and gas companies. Even though YOU will boycott Chevron/Texaco, Exxon/Mobil will not; they will buy the oil if it is available, and if Chevron can't sell at their gas stations, they'll certainly sell it on the market. Do you think some other considerations make this a feasible strategy?
